Academic Resources Center

students studying together

The Academic Resources Center (ARC), located on the 5th floor of Unity Hall, provides tutoring support that is designed to enhance the learning experience of WPI undergraduate students. 

The student-based, collaborative learning environment of the ARC offers 1-on-1 tutoring as well as group, drop-in tutoring (called MASH - Math & Science Help) for select introductory math, science, computer science, and engineering science courses. The Academic Resources center aims to assist WPI undergraduate students in the acquisition of information, guidance towards becoming independent learners, and development of skills to accomplish their academic goals.

At the ARC you will find peer tutors who provide support for introductory math, science, and computer science courses

Tutoring will occur within the ARC hours of operation. Actual tutoring availability for different subjects is dependent on the tutors' schedules. No tutoring will occur on days that the University is closed or when no classes are being held (holidays, wellness days, snow days). There is also no tutoring on the first two days of each term or the last two days of each term.

For the most updated list of courses that are offered for tutoring at the ARC, please visit the ARC Canvas Page.
